Introduction <StructureSection load='1hpl' size='500' side='right' caption='Structure of Horse Pancreatic Lipase (PDB entry [[1hpl]])' scene=''>Lipase, as its name suggests, is an enzyme responsible for the cleavage of types of lipid molecules. There are different types of lipases, many of which work in similar ways. For instance, Human Pancreatic Lipase, or HPL, splits triglycerides, the main lipids in the human diet, into glycerol and three fatty acids. The structure shown at right is that of Horse Pancreatic Lipase. It consists of two identical subunits, totaling 449 amino acids each. | Introduction <StructureSection load='1hpl' size='500' side='right' caption='Structure of Horse Pancreatic Lipase (PDB entry [[1hpl]])' scene=''>Lipase, as its name suggests, is an enzyme responsible for the cleavage of types of lipid molecules.
